1. Earth to Kerry. Palestinians don't want to compromise.
Sam ,   Canada   (01.14.14)
Kerry can't get the Palestinians to compromise and he can't get the other Arab countries to make them compromise. However, he, other Western diplomats and Jewish blockheads continue to insist that Israel must make a deal. At what point does reality get through to these people?
2. Well said, Moshe!
Naomi   (01.14.14)
3. Great, now
Chaim ,   Arad   (01.14.14)

4. Not every time is Nobel Prize an honor or
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (01.14.14)
omen - see Obama Nobel Peace Prize fiasco.
5. Kerry obama "I think I can " "I think I can"
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.14.14)
No you can't. All this hideous team has 'produced' is the release of convicted pal terrorists who should have only been released n a pine box. End this comedy of errors, why is obama Kerry so insistent on this give away of Israel? Israel is NOT theirs to rule, subdue or make any demands of for either her land or for her security. Yankee go home and stay there your wife needs you the Israeli's don't. KEEP BUILDING ALL OF ISRAEL !!!!
6. Boogy is wrong.Kerry doesnt need N P He wants to be POTUS
Alan ,   SA   (01.14.14)
He needs a tranquilizer.He will get a heart attack at this rate.. He didn't make it last time around. So he wants to get his dream job by throwing Israel and its people to the dogs
7. Kerry there is a peace program to push
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.14.14)
Based on the minute possibility that Kerry is sincere and totally blind to reality, I hope the following is helpful. I am a settler, who doesn't figure in your equations, yet is a major part of your headache, why? Because, we know that we are living on our rightful homeland, and not just from Biblical sources only. You blatantly ignore the status quo, why? There is a simple saying "if it works don't fix it" yet you seek to replace something that has given both sides peace of a kind, with a determination to push a program that neither side wants, why? Maybe, if you take time to really listen to the people. like in shopping centers visited by both settlers and local Arabs, you might find something more worthy of your efforts. You'll find that while many will publicy say one thing to peer pressure from those who don't live here, there is a far different sentiment on the streets. Aside from serious incidents that must be addressed, whetehr from Jew or Arab, the status quo has given us the precious commondity of peace, which means going about our business in as ordinary a way as possible. By all means, explore programs that makes this peaceful status quo more workable. Perhaps, economic benefits that helps local people, Jews and Arabs to better prosper? Or are you hell bent on pursuing a policy that really does equate to apartheid, like forcing families from their long standing homes, because they happen to be Jews? Try seeing true reality that happens to be more local Jews and Arabs peacefully co-existing, out of the limelight of your forced policies that better belong in a nazi past. I for one will be happy to assist. Shalom!
8. Kerry is obsessed and massianic
CJK   (01.14.14)
the entire obama regime is obsessed with israel. they are convinced against all reason that israel is the major cause of all the problems in the middle east and the larger muslim world. such ideological vision cannot be easily, if ever, combatted.
9. ME Peace
Henry ,   Manila   (01.14.14)
Anyone who recognizes the State of Israel apart from those who already have a long time ago is going to be assassinated. That's for sure and Arab leaders know it. So how can Kerry get Abbas to recognize Israel unless the poor fellow is willing to be hated by his people and all other Arabs and murdered? Kerry is talking to a concrete, hardened wall.
10. USA & Israel Leave Each Other Alone
Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (01.14.14)
No doubt Israel's situation will improve over time after our USA & Israel part company including all generous economic, diplomatic, & technology gifts. Millions of Palestinians will no doubt grow to love Israel. Not smart ...
11. Kerry obama "I think I can " "I think I can"
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.14.14)
No you can't. All this hideous team has 'produced' is the release of convicted pal terrorists who should have only been released n a pine box.

13. Yaalon's dilemma solution; Sovereign Israel
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (01.14.14)
Bibi irritated Obama and even Gates Livni trying for the matching Nobel Kerry is going for, ABBAS dare not go for the second state, hence he plays intransigent, Arabs in a total mess, explains why Yaalon's hurting to see what goes on. Annex the West Bank, defend against Iran's threat and to hell with the rest They want us dead. Let us not go down without a fight
14. palestinians can be counted on...
Volvi   (01.14.14)
We can always count on these so called palestinians to never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. I have more faith in them and their intransigence then our own leaders who are willing to give everything away including the kitchen sink.
15. Kerry's blindness
Israella   (01.14.14)
Why are the Americans so blind to Arab hate and intransigence towards Israel? Does Kerry really believe that he will succeed when so many others have failed? If Ya'alon says that the security plan is not worth the paper it's written on, believe him.
16. Kerry's plan IS "worth the paper.."
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (01.14.14)
toilet paper, that is...
17. Peace Plan
Max ,   Washington DC   (01.14.14)
The Arabs are not ready to recognize Israel as the Jewish State nor agree to Israels Security requirements which requires hard decisions by the Arab World. If they want a partner in preventing Iran building an Islamic Caliphate they need to act fast and negotiate in good faith. Otherwise Israel could do as the US did after WWII and maintain its troops in the defeated lands, make friends slowly with its former adversaries and keep its troops there for security for decades.
18. No Sir, Never again!
Samuel ,   Israel   (01.14.14)
Before Kerry wants Israel to shred its skin, He should deeply bury in his mind that we gave back Gaza and what have received in return?-Missiles & rockets. A month back during the severe cold, Israel supplied Gaza with generators & fuel & what have gained? again rocket fire. Doesn't Kerry realise the truth. why in the world does he act so dumb? No Sir, Never again.
19. Ya'alon ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Just say NO. Enough is enough!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!! ,   Boogie   (01.14.14)
We will not put our lives in danger for Kerry or Obama's ego. Annex area C NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
20. Does it ever occur to any of you people
Big Al ,   Zichron, Israel   (01.14.14)
that Obama and Kerry are painting Bibi and his government into a corner in order to bring him down. There is obviously no love lost. There will never be peace with the Pals no matter who is in power, but we can at least stay on good terms with the American Administration and not make snidy and stupid remarks, Boogie should know better ( but obviously doesn't.)
21. It is not entirely what Yaalon did say, if anything, but if
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.14.14)
he observed the fact that Mr. Kerry is disconnected from the reality of the region, he was totally correct. And, if he observed that Kerry has no understanding of Israel's national and security vital interests, he was right on the mark.
22. And on the third day...
Avramele   (01.14.14)
Yaalon, the right's new messiah has risen. History as is said repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce.
23. Imagine Lieberman PM and Ya'alon MOD!
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (01.14.14)
24. Kerry
Julian ,   London, England   (01.14.14)
Trust yet another liberal fascist to patronize. Does "Professor" Obama's gofer really think Democrats are the only people who can think? I tire of this US aministration's intellectual snobbery and liberal condescension. Israel and the world needs Obama's perverse, self-appointed, know-it-all ineptness like a hole in the head.
25. Ya'alon
Linda Grasso ,   Nutleym NJ   (01.14.14)
I agree with Ya 'alon
26. #10 'Jersey' Jew - loose your pullover
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.14.14)
If you were subtly suggestioning that we should be hostage to 'your' American generous contributions I suggest otherwise. A Jew belongs to the Children of Israel so check that your pullover or Jersey was fully removed?
27. #23
Chaim T. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.14.14)
Lieberman recently came out in support of Kerry's "peace" plan. Time to reevaluate Lieberman!
28. Kerry and Middle East peace
Harold ,   USA   (01.14.14)
Words, meeting and negotiations will never solve this 47 years old conflict but sanctions can and that's what happened in South Africa.
29. Exactly. Take your Peace Prize and go back to making ketchup
mea   (01.14.14)
30. Kerry, here's a clue: Israel does NOT want peace.
Judith Goldberg ,   Jerusalem   (01.14.14)
Not really. Ya'alon is a shameless opportunist and a proven war criminal with blood on his hands.
